Steam to be the future of the PS3?

Valve have been dropping hints left, right and centre that a digital games distribution service like steam would be the future of the PS3. When questioned on Valve’s involvement on Sony’s PS3 beyond the release of Portal 2 Valve’s VP of Marketing Doug Lombardi said “We are hoping other titles will benefit from the Steamworks tools and services we’ve created for Portal 2 PS3, but we don’t have anything to announce today.”

There may not be anything to announce today, but we may see news creeping in during the coming months. With Valve’s Gabe Newell stating that Portal 2’s definitive version will be on PS3, it isn’t out of the question that a Valve foray into the home console market will mainly focus on the PS3 as well.
